Organization Endorsements
Vancouver Police Officers' Guild
“We believe the citizens of Vancouver will benefit from the experiences gained during your many years of civic service and your demonstrated efforts to improve our community through your volunteer activities, your continued community involvement and your clear commitment to public safety.”
– Jeff Kipp, President |
Vancouver Firefighters Union, IAFF Local #452
“We appreciate your no nonsense stance on public safety. With the shuttering of Fire Station 6 and the reduction of personnel, it is time for someone to step up to the plate and take action on these issues. With your leadership on council, I know that we can build a safer, stronger community.”
– Judson McCauley, Governmental Affairs |
Friends of Fire Station 6
“Friends of Fire Station 6 is proud to announce its endorsement of Anne McEnerny-Ogle for Vancouver City Council. Anne has a long history of working with citizens in our neighborhoods and supporting public safety issues in the City of Vancouver. Friends of Fire Station 6 and Anne share the vision of making our city a place where citizen's voices are heard and protecting our community is a priority.
We are proud to add our endorsement to the growing list of those supporting Anne's campaign and her vision for our community. Along with our local firefighters and police officers, we believe Anne is the best person to lead us into the future.”
– Mary Elkin, President |
The Columbian
“Anne McEnerny-Ogle is one of the busiest and most forward-thinking civic activists in Vancouver. More than just the chair of the Shumway Neighborhood Association for 16 years, she is current chair of the Vancouver Neighborhood Alliance, for which she's attended 31 meetings in two years. McEnerny-Ogle's selfless contributions of time, energy and ideas to her community have drawn The Columbian's endorsement in the Aug. 16 primary race for Vancouver City Council, Pos. 6.
[McEnerny-Ogle] is an effervescent and eager public figure who has thoroughly prepared for this race by researching all major issues and attending dozens of meetings.
This year, she has the support of the police and firefighters unions, which could help her in the vote-gathering process but could haunt her if she wins and ventures into the deep, dark forests of budget cuts.
All three candidates share similar views on most of the city's major issues, except for the Columbia River Crossing and light rail. McEnerny-Ogle is less supportive and remains concerned about impact on downtown neighborhoods. But there's a clear distinction among these three candidates, and it's McEnerny-Ogle's obvious superiority in these issues both in research and civic service. She has moderated community meetings on the CRC and light rail, and her extensive understanding of the two issues is rooted in her prior membership on the I-5 Trade and Transportation Task Force and five years' service on the City of Vancouver Planning Commission.
Neither Campbell nor Turlay come close to McEnerny-Ogle when it comes to record of civic service and rich storehouse of ideas for improving the city.”
